Warp Speed calculations using Fibonacci numbers

I had a oddball idea and played around with some numbers to see if it would work. What if the Warp Speed calculation are misunderstood? What if instead of W being linear, it actually follows a spiral as described by the Fibonacci Sequence?

However, if we go by the Fibonacci Sequence, the first two numbers, 0 & 1, are sub-light. The third number, also 1, would be Warp 1. Same as above. Warp 2 = 1+1, and Warp 3 = 1+2. So far so good. But the next Fibonacci number means Warp 4 becomes 2+3 = 5, and then Warp 5 becomes 3+5=8. The chart then becomes:

It should probably be some sort of log scale, but for simple math, I would just on a linear scale based on the difference between the two whole number values. 3 --> 5 = 0.2 each, 5 -- > 8 = 0.3 each, etc, etc.

I like it as a sci-fi concept. The thing is, the Fibonacci sequence is an abstract mathematical concept... It doesn't REALLY mean anything or have consequences in the physical world; it's really just a "neat thing" some Italian nerd came up with and published. You can argue that cubing the warp factor is equally as abstract when applied to velocities, but at least as a concept it does get applied to other real-world maths.

In TNG they tried applying it roughly to some mysterious universal constant of lightspeed travel as it relates to power required to travel a certain warp factor. The power/speed line that they came up with was completely arbitrary, but at least it was an attempt at relating actual physics to sci-fi concepts.

Actually, the Fibonacci sequence is found all over nature, such as in the arrangment of petals on a flower.

Why would it work for Warp Drive? My explantion is each Warp level creates a "shell" of warped space/time, nesting the previous level(s). The size of each shell increases (or perhaps reduces) in a ratio following the sequence, which also happens to be close to the Golden Ratio = 1.618

I'm on board with this as a possibility... it makes sense to me. On this scale, Earth to Vulcan 16LY away at warp 6 would take just a touch under 3 days, which fits with what Scotty tells Spock in one of the films (I forget which- it was when he offered Spock a ride back home).

Of course, if Voyager could sustain it without too many long breaks/cool downs, they could have reached the AQ in 166 days at Warp 9. Even at slower warp speeds on this scale, and accounting for the odd nebula or alien first contact and warp core cool down... still a far cry from the 80 years they say on screen. But then again, the show wouldn't be able to go on for as long if that were the case.
